Event highlight: ✨ OC Tap Fest ✨

Every July we love attending OC Tap Festival in Huntington Beach, California hosted by Reverb production company. Thank you Leah and Ron Silva for creating such a fabulous festival experience and inviting us to participate. This is a highlight of the JYP year and we appreciate the opportunity to participate each year. @leahrsilva @ron_silva_ @reverb_production_company

JYP had the opportunity to perform in “Up Next at the Fest” sharing the bill with Reverb, Tap Co. and Tap NZ. We loved all of the performance, gatherings, and training with the awesome faculty. Our company members also enjoyed the other great activities offered as part of the fest and enjoying a bit of the California lifestyle.

As is now tradition, we had a fun JaMily cruise around Newport Beach as well!

We can’t wait to be back next year to make s’more great memories!

JYP company members who participated: Abby, Cole, Dylan, Emily, Ethan, Evelyn, Jackie, Jafar-I, Kaylen, Noah and Sage.
